<h2 class="heading2">Restoring Mail Configuration</h2>
<p class="bodytext">Sometimes, Plesk mail server configuration becomes corrupt and it is necessary to restore it. The restoration is carried out by internal <code class="monospace">mchk</code> utility, intended for use by Plesk Control Panel. However, as administrator, you can use it for restoring the Qmail and Courier-imap configuration when needed.</p>
<p class="bodytext">By default <code class="monospace">mchk</code> is running in the background mode. To execute it in the foreground, use the <code class="monospace">-v</code> option. For example:</p>
<p class="preformattedbold"></p>
<p class="preformattedbold">/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk -v</p>
<p class="preformattedbold"></p>
<p class="note"><strong class="buttons">Note:</strong> You may not wish to restore SpamAssassin settings for mail accounts, as it requires running Perl interpreter. To speed up restoring use the <code class="monospace">--without-spam</code> option.</p>
